angles not prominent, the surface rather convex, finely and closely 
punctured, the punctures slightly elongate in shape, scutellum 
broader than long, elytra widened towards the middle, as closely 
_punctured as the thorax, but the punctures rather larger, the apex 
of each elytron separately rounded, underside and the posterior 
femora more or less blackish or piceous as well as the pygidium, 
the metatarsus of the posterior legs half the length of the tibia. 
Hab. Madura, Madras Presidency. 
This species belongs to a group in which the suture of the elytra 
is narrowly black, to distinguish it from others, similarly coloured, 
the punctation of the space between the eyes, the dark labrum and 
underside as well as the close punctuation of the thorax and elytra 
must be taken into consideration; it is also closely allied to Z. bir- 
manicus Jac., but that species has a more transversely shaped 
and finely punctured thorax, longer antennæ, fulvous labrum and 
other differences. 
Longitarsus nigronotatus n. sp. 
Pale fulvous, the apical joints of the antennæ piceous, thorax 
transverse, finely punctured and distinctly transversely sulcate, 
elytra finely and semi-regularly punctured, a round spot at the 
middle, the apex and the suture posteriorly, black. 
Length 5/41 line. 
Head impunctate, the frontal elevations small, nearly joined to 
the clypeus which is strongly convex and impunctate, eyes large, 
the space dividing them narrower than their diameter, antennæ 
robust, black, the lower four joints fulvous, second joint half the 
length of the first, third and fourth small, equal, following joints 
thickened and elongate, thorax nearly twice as broad as long, the 
sides straight, the anterior angles obliquely truncate, the base with 
a distinct, slightly sinuate sulcation, the surface finely and 
sparingly punctured, more closely so below the sulcation, elytra 
with fine punctures, placed in irregular rows, each with a rather 
large round spot, placed at the middle, the apex, and the suture 
posteriorly, black, underside and legs fulvous, the apex of the 
posterior femora with a small black spot, the metatarsus of the 
posterior legs but little longer than the following joints together. 
Hab. Tharrawaddy, Burmah. 
L. nigronotatus, although closely allied in coloration to Z. &ino- 
latus Baly from Shanghai, differs in several particulars, the joints 
of the antennæ are of proportionately different length, the trans- 
verse sulcation of the thorax is much more distinct and altogether 
rather exceptional in this genus, and lastly, the elytra have an
